Neil Gaiman
“Sometimes writers write about a world that does not yet exist. We do it for a hundred reasons. (Because it’s good to look forward, not back. Because we need to illuminate a path we hope or we fear humanity will take. Because the world of the future seems more enticing or more interesting than the world of today. Because we need to warn you. To encourage. To examine. To imagine.) The reasons for writing about the day after tomorrow, and all the tomorrows that follow it, are as many and as varied as the people writing.”
Neil Gaiman, The View from the Cheap Seats: Selected Nonfiction

Joe Fassler
“Sometimes, it’s just the feeling that a book has enlarged you somehow, providing you not so much with answers as with better, clearer questions.”
Joe Fassler, Light the Dark: Writers on Creativity, Inspiration, and the Artistic Process

T.J. Klune
“We should always make time for the things we like. If we don't, we might forget how to be happy.”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

J.R.R. Tolkien
“But our back is to legends and we are coming home. I suppose this is the first taste of it.'
'There is a long road yet,' said Gandalf.
'But it is the last road,' said Bilbo.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

Virginia Woolf
“But there is one peculiarity which real works of art possess in common. At each fresh reading one notices some change in them, as if the sap of life ran in their leaves, and with skies and plants they had the power to alter their shape and colour from season to season. To write down one’s impressions of Hamlet as one reads it year after year, would be virtually to record one’s own autobiography, for as we know more of life, so Shakespeare comments upon what we know.”
Virginia Woolf, Genius and Ink: Virginia Woolf on How to Read
